> To avoid having to go to the reflog

Why should I avoid having to go to the reflog?

I've met a few folks that, upon learning about reflog, think that every time they run `git reflog` they are admitting that they made a mistake or have otherwise failed to accomplish some task with Git. It's not a failure to need reflog; even if it was, you shouldn't have such an aversion to failure. I frequently run reflog to re-orient myself just like I do with `git log` or `git status`.

Interesting point, I will try to take this attitude and approach and see how I like it.
